I can not vouch for comparative performance, as I have never run the same request for each; however, isscan.exe can remove attachments based on subject, if that is sufficient for you. Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;FR;q224493
William -----Original Message----- From: Bonner, Jon To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: 12/11/01 8:40 PM Subject: can I delete msgs by subject? Is it possible to delete messages out of all the thousands of mailboxes in the store based on subject? I know that you could do this with the ExMerge.exe utility, however it processes mailboxes too slowly to be practical, so I was wondering if there was a faster, quicker method. Thanks in advance...
